"Master."
When Fang Chen heard this familiar voice, he instantly stopped in his tracks. There was a look of astonishment on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Star and Moon, who was following closely behind Fang Chen, saw Fang Chen suddenly stop and asked.
Fang Chen didn't answer Star and Moon's question, because at this moment, a familiar voice resounded in his mind.
"Master, I was originally protecting you, but a very powerful cultivator suddenly appeared. I couldn't defeat him, so I was injured and fled." Icy Heaven Hall Master said.
Before Fang Chen entered the Flowing Water Palace, he ordered Icy Heaven Hall Master to protect him. However, when he came out, he only saw Yao Yun and didn't see Icy Heaven Hall Master.
At that time, Fang Chen guessed that Icy Heaven Hall Master might have died in Yao Yun's hands.
However, he didn't expect to hear Icy Heaven Hall Master's voice at this moment.
Soul Seed was a very mysterious control technique. As long as the distance between the master and the puppet wasn't too far, the master could communicate with the puppet.
At this moment, Fang Chen could also confirm that Icy Heaven Hall Master wasn't around, so she must be nearby.
"Where are you?" Fang Chen asked.
"Master, I'm at a hidden place at the foot of the mountain. Recently, the cultivators of the three major factions have been constantly searching for this place, so I can't leave." Icy Heaven Hall Master said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Be careful and find a chance to escape. Once you're free, go to Cyan Cloud County to find me."
"Yes, master." Icy Heaven Hall Master said.
After communicating with Icy Heaven Hall Master, Fang Chen turned to Star and Moon and said with a smile, "It's fine, let's go."
After saying that, Fang Chen led Star and Moon and left the mountain.
After leaving the mountain, Fang Chen also encountered some cultivators of the three major factions. However, they were all weak cultivators and were killed by Fang Chen in the blink of an eye.
Fang Chen and Star and Moon were very careful along the way, and they managed to avoid the search of the three major forces.
A day later, Fang Chen and Star and Moon appeared in a wasteland. This wasteland was the road to Dark Sky City. It was also the road that Fang Chen was preparing to leave Dark Sky County and head to the imperial capital.
Originally, there was a flying crane in Fang Chen's special spatial ring. However, the flying crane could only hold one person at a time. Because of the Star and Moon, Fang Chen didn't summon the flying crane.
After arriving at this wasteland, Fang Chen still didn't let his guard down. He wanted to leave Anyan County as soon as possible. Once they left, they would be safe.
However, just as Fang Chen was walking quickly, he suddenly saw a group of people coming from afar.
"Mm." Star and Moon frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Chen rushed off into the distance.
Stab to death. The leader of this group of people had a cold expression on his face.
"Brat, wait until I reach Dark Sky Plains. I'll make you wish you were dead." Second Young Master Gu thought to himself.
"Isn't this Second Young Master Gu? Where are you going?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, causing Second Young Master Gu and the others to stop in their tracks and look around.
"Who is it?" Second Young Master Gu asked coldly.
"It's me." Fang Chen appeared with a mocking expression on his face.
"It's you. How is this possible? Why are you here?" Second Young Master Gu's face was full of shock when he saw Fang Chen.
"Naturally, I'm here to kill you." Fang Chen said.
"Kill him for me."
At Second Young Master Gu's command, the subordinates behind him all unleashed powerful attacks in an attempt to kill Fang Chen.
Bang bang bang!
Fang Chen's attacks were very fierce. In the blink of an eye, Second Young Master Gu's subordinates died at Fang Chen's hands.
"You!"
Seeing this scene, Second Young Master Gu's expression changed drastically. He was terrified.
"How can you be so strong?" Second Young Master Gu kept retreating, his face full of fear.
"Didn't you want to kill me?"
Fang Chen walked towards Second Young Master Gu step by step. His face was full of a sinister smile, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Please let me go. I'll give you anything you want."
Plop!
Second Young Master Gu immediately knelt on the ground, begging Fang Chen to let him go.
Fang Chen was about to speak when a sudden burst of energy came. Second Young Master Gu's body fell limply to the ground.
Fang Chen turned around. It was Star and Moon. Although Star and Moon's injuries had not healed, killing Second Young Master Gu was a piece of cake.
Star and Moon glanced at Fang Chen with her beautiful eyes, then turned to look elsewhere.
When Fang Chen saw this, an awkward expression appeared on his face.
"Let's go," Fang Chen said.
Ten days later, Fang Chen and Star and Moon left Anyan County. They came to an unfamiliar place not far from the imperial capital.
"Star and Moon, you go back first. I need to go home," Fang Chen said.
Star and Moon nodded. Without saying anything, she turned and left.
Watching Star and Moon leave, Fang Chen summoned a flying crane and flew in the direction of Cyan Cloud County.
When the crisis of the Azure Edge Sword Sect was resolved, Fang Chen learned that there was a captain of the Yellow Spring Sect behind the mysterious force called Captain Qingyang.
Captain Qingyang was very powerful. At his peak, he was definitely a warrior comparable to a warrior on the Qi Roll.
Back then, he learned from the warrior in the Qi Transformation Realm that Captain Qingyang was in seclusion to recover his cultivation. He would come out in a year to unify Cyan Cloud County.
Now, almost a year had passed since then. Before Fang Chen went to Anyan County, he had decided that he would return to Cyan Cloud County after the matters in Anyan County were settled.
After all, once Captain Qingyang came out, no one in Cyan Cloud County could resist his power.
Within ten days of Fang Chen's escape from Anyan County, the three major forces in Anyan County were in a state of madness.
Yao Yun's death caused Tianyu Lake to pin the blame on Kamikaze Kenbu. The death of Second Young Master Gu completely enraged the Gu Clan.
The Gu Clan even wanted to join forces with the other top ten Sects to send troops to Kamikaze Kenbu. However, because the elders' council did not approve, they temporarily gave up.
However, the higher-ups of the Gu Clan had already said that this matter would not end like this.
As for Fang Chen, he quietly returned to Cyan Cloud County.
After returning to Cyan Cloud County, the first thing Fang Chen did was to visit the Fang Clan. Everything was going well in the Fang Clan. With the support he had given them, the Fang Clan was gradually becoming stronger.
In just a year, although the Fang Clan was still in Black Cloud City and had not expanded, their strength was already comparable to the Qingfeng Sword Sect.
During these few days in the Fang Clan, Fang Chen had nothing to do, so he taught the younger disciples. Sometimes, he would also interact with the experts of the older generation.
In short, time passed by little by little.
On the eighth day after Fang Chen returned to the Fang Clan, the warriors he sent out to gather information finally found some news.
In a small town not far from the Qingfeng Sword Sect, a mysterious expert had massacred the town overnight. The scene was very tragic.
When Fang Chen heard this news, he quickly made a decision to leave the Fang Clan. He took a flying crane and arrived at the town that had been massacred.
"Land."
From above, he could see that the entire town was in a mess. The streets were filled with corpses and rivers of blood. It was a tragic sight.
After the flying crane landed, Fang Chen kept it and walked on the streets, observing the wounds of the dead.
"The wounds of the dead are mostly on the neck. They seem to have been bitten." Fang Chen observed the wounds of the dead and said in a low voice.
At this moment, a large group of people appeared behind Fang Chen.
"Hey, what are you doing? This place has been sealed by the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Leave quickly." One of the disciples shouted.
As they spoke, the group appeared in front of Fang Chen. They questioned Fang Chen, believing that Fang Chen was a suspicious person.
"Kid, what are you doing sneaking around here?" The leader asked in a deep voice.
Fang Chen stood up and looked at the warriors. He smiled indifferently and said, "I don't think I'm sneaking around."
These disciples were all new disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. This time, they had been sent by the Sect to inspect the town. When they entered the sect, Fang Chen was long gone. Naturally, they didn't recognize Fang Chen.
"Right now, I'm extremely suspicious that you're related to the massacre in this town." The leader said coldly.
Fang Chen was a bit speechless. He shrugged helplessly.
"I was once a disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect." Fang Chen said.
"Hmph, do you think we'll believe a random lie? I see many people like you every day. They all admire our Qingfeng Sword Sect, but they can't join. So they tell outsiders that they're disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. What a joke."
"That's right. Our Qingfeng Sword Sect isn't a place that a disciple like you can casually join."
"Hahaha, what a joke. You dare say you were once a disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect?"
"You're so young. If you join the Qingfeng Sword Sect, we'll definitely know each other. You really don't know how to lie."
"Do you think you're our Qingfeng Sword Sect's former Paragon, Fang Chen?"
These disciples were all mocking Fang Chen. Little did they know that the person in front of them was their idol, Fang Chen, who was at the top of their hearts.
Fang Chen knew that no matter how he explained, they wouldn't listen. So he might as well not explain.
However, the commotion here was naturally heard by the cultivators in other places.
A white-robed man suddenly walked over.
"What happened here?" asked the white-robed man.
Seeing the white-robed man appear, the disciples all clasped their hands towards him. Then the leader said, "Elder Duzhong, we found a suspicious person here. We wanted to bring him back for questioning, but he said he was once a disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. What a joke."
"Yeah, he's lying. He must be related to the massacre in this town."
"Let me see." Duzhong's voice rang out.
The disciples opened up a path for Duzhong. Fang Chen instantly appeared in front of him.
